PERSONAL ANALYSIS

Crap. We're gonna lose the game. 2 goals in 42 seconds. Argh! Well, turned out differently, didn't it? 3 goals in a row! How did Ryan Miller miss 3 shots in a row? Doesn't matter, because the Preds won! A big thanks to Blake Geoffrion, Martin Erat, and (Anders Lindback).

PERSONAL ANALYSIS

I am so happy that Nashville has clinched a playoff spot for the time being. I always love an empty net goal. Defeating rivals makes me feel really good inside, being a diehard Preds fan.
